TITLE: Access to papers as an unaffiliated individual
QUESTION [27 upvotes]: I have graduated and my employer does not provide access to journals.
I don't mind paying, but I cannot afford subscribing directly.
Are there public mathematics associations that provide members with access to the most common mathematical journals?

REPLY [3 votes]: Often the author has a web page on which he or she posts papers, e.g., T. Tao.
Another possible source is Archiv.
